SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,853; dated November6, 1883.

To all whom it may concern:

zen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the countyof Cook, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Brackets, of which the following is a specification, to wit: 1

I This invention relates to an improvement in folding brackets; and itconsists in the peculiar construction of the same, whereby it may beraised or lowered at will and held in a raised position by means of aspring-latch,

. substantially as will be hereinafter more fully described.

Inorder to enable others skilled in the art 'to which myinventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed todescribe its construction and operation, referring to the accompanyingdrawings, in which 7 Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of my bracket foldedup 3 Fig. 2, asimilar view, opened out for use; and Fig. 3 adetailsection of the guide with its spring-latch.

cured immediately under the arm A. This position; but when wanted foruse the springcatch is pulled aside and the arm lowered until the braceholds it firmly, when it may be used for holding any article desired.The bracket is especially designed forusein stables, for holding harnessand similar articles, but may of course be put to any other use forwhich it may be found suited.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a folding bracket, the arm A, having the cross-head B, andjournal-blocks b b, in combination with the brace O, hinged to the arm,and having its lower end formed with a T-head, the guide-block D, havingthe groove or slot d, with overlapping edges d, and the springcatch 6,all constructed and arranged to operate substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.
